1)You will see the office is located inside an office building so it gives a sense of relief. Notice how it's located OUTSIDE the office building with a seperate entrance. 2)Once you're in the office you will see movie posters and "extras," that have worked in those movies. Total lie. They do this to look legit. 3) They will sound professional, shake your hand, show you a newspaper article about all the film studios starting to film here, etc. They will show you all these emails from companies looking for talent in commercials, movies, print ads, etc. You will begin to think they are honest people. 4) Once they see they've got you right where they want you, they start talking about the photo shoot. You believe them when they tell you it's a great deal and that an agency would charge you thousands. WRONG. DING DING DING. I wish a light bulb went off in my head then and walked out before signing any papers. They may even ask to do that shoot that day and you won't believe how much their eye lit up when they say "Cash or credit?" Who has $300 to waste like that?!? Overall, look for the red flags. They are taking advantage of people looking for a fun, part-time job. They will claim once you get your shoot and prints, you will automatically be reimbursed for your first session, but that session won't come- they just want your money. STAY AWAY!!
